The Offspring - Lightning Rod [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1]
I am waiting
On a mountaintop
For the moment that the sky will strike
My apologies
Are forever lost
Soon to ashes in a flash of light
Miles from away from me
Hope is fading soon
Gone forever, it's a waste of time
My intentions
Like a sweeter room
Only bring to me a fading light

[Chorus]
Locked up forever inside
I look to the stars and ask why
If they could just teach my dark heart to feel
All I've saved‚ oh why
Thrown away

[Verse 2]
I am waning
Like a single bloom
Lost forever in the storm of life
My intentions
Like a sweeter room
Only bring to me a fading light

[Chorus]
Locked up forever inside
I look to the stars and ask why
If they could just show these wounds how to heal
Here I am‚ oh why
My last stand‚ oh why
And I know
For all the rising and falling there's nothing to show

[Bridge]
(Throw me down)
It's been raining
And now I will pay
Woe is come to me
I am the lightning rod
I am waiting
On a mountaintop
Oh above me
He will strike me!

[Chorus]
Locked up forever inside
I look to the stars and ask why
If they could just teach my dark heart to feel
All I am‚ oh why
My last stand‚ oh why
And I know
For all the rising and falling there's nothing to show
